Dear All: just because something seems to be a climber and growing tall does not negate the its identity , to my mind
I have a green chilli plant right now in my kitchen that's almost dying but all thru the year it grew as a straggly almost three foot long "vining" plant its just that the seed (from the same one red chilli) got stuck at an edge in a small pot and that seedling just struggled and grew taller by the minute... flowered once , never set fruit... it spent all its nutrition and energy into growing tall; while rest of the seeds' seedlings grew to normal in bigger pots on the same window sill..same light same water same food.. just a different foothold...

Same as in cancer tumors that grow into mass and stay that way while in somebody else may spread and spread..we have a " seed and soil" theory for cancer growth ... mother nature being what it is must play the same design in growth in all biological systems , up to a point... is my two cents worth. thanks... usha di *Post script: * In Shantiniketan on the grounds of Gurudev's homestead and other huts/homes there is a vining tree, I want to say mango but it may be something else, I have forgotten' but its a normally a nice large tree, erect stout.. ... but there in that garden its "vining" , one of the brothers or nephews noticed it early on and gave such support as to let it vine.... after almost nearly 100 years its still in that form.. its still present and growing and the guides point it out proudly... so it happens, has happened... taught me to keep an open mind not only in human cancers, but in botany also ... this is regarding a polygonum... january 2015 [efloraofindia:210913] Climber from Uttarakhand 08: ID Requested nice case On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 8:03 AM, Dinesh Singh Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Sir for your attention. >> > > By description in flora,..*P. chinesis* is a *herb, up to 1 m tall*, but > the present study is a *climber ca. 4 m long*.
